How to install plug in file

[Pixl]

I have a .ipk plug in file on my computer. How can I move it into my E2 Nemesis system?

Put the ipk file on an usb stick. Then insert the stick into the receiver while a channel is playing. The box should ask if you want to install it.

Ok thanks EB, I did that, it went in, but where?

If it installed correctly, press the menu>plugins> and it should show up there.

You may need to reboot the box to see the plugin. Hard to say where it will be unless you tell us what you installed.

It's a file I got from a UK site that supposed to be a one button push to bring up a signal/quality bar. Attached here if anyone else wants to test it. I'm at work, I'll try the reboot tonight and see if it shows up.

Tried it but it doesn't work on mine. Used the sub-title and then the text (teletext) buttons but no go.

It works with the info button.

Nice work East. Tell me how you installed it, I'm still looking for the plug in, re-boot did not bring it up. Here is the install instructions from the down load site, they don't make sense to me.

How to install: Send plugin to /tmp and from telnet..
Code:
opkg install -force-overwrite /tmp/*.ipk

Like EB mentioned earlier, you can copy the ipk file to a usb stick and then just plug it in the receiver port. A screen will popup asking you to install the extension. After install just reboot and it should be in the plugins section.

If that doesn't work, use Filezilla to upload the ipk file to the tmp directory under your root folder. Then you can use putty (telnet) and log in with your ip address.
1- Type "init 4" without the quotes.
2- Type "opkg install -force-overwrite /tmp/*.ipk" without the quotes.
You will see a display message that it is installing the appropriate ipk file.
3- Type "init 6" without the quotes.

Your receiver should reboot and you should find it in the plugins section.
